Monday, February 9, noon, West Hollywood North Elementary School
Bette Porter moved determinedly to her favorite table in the lunchroom, her best friend Alice Pieszecki trailing behind.
“Favorite” wasn’t quite accurate. It was her favorite table among those available to third graders in the rigid caste system of the West Hollywood North Elementary School. A third grader was just barely worthy of acknowledgement as a human being by the older students, the fourth and fifth graders who shared the lunch period for the younger classes. A third grader could not risk the loss of such hard earned status that would accompany any association with the babies—the first and second graders and kindergartners. The third graders, therefore, had staked out tables that were as far away from their juniors as possible yet still within the tables scorned by the fourth and fifth graders.
“Why do we always have to sit here?” Alice whined as she climbed into her seat on the bench opposite Bette.
“I like it.”
Alice looked at the wall behind where Bette sat and sighed, “If we have to sit in the same place every day, could we at least switch seats once in a while? I am getting pretty tired looking at Mr. Wall back there.”
Bette turned her head to see what Alice meant. She turned back and shrugged as she scanned the entire lunch room from the vantage point her seat provided. “I like my view.”
“Well I don’t like mine.”
“You can pick where we sit next….” Bette said soothingly. “year.”
“Year! No way, Porter.”
“Way, Pieszecki.”
The two friends began to unpack their lunches, each afraid of what she might find. Melvin Porter, Bette’s father, despised waste, so Bette’s lunch was going to be some concoction made by Mrs. Washington, the Porter’s housekeeper, using leftovers from the prior night’s dinner. Alice was between stepfathers and there were no uncles around, so her lunch was usually whatever Lenore had scrounged from a Hollywood party the night before.
Alice and Bette had first become allies against the normal lunch eaters and had then become friends. So when Bette caught Alice casting longing glances at the bologna sandwich in the hands of the boy sitting next to her, Bette glared angrily at the disloyal blonde. Caught, Alice waited for Bette’s reproof. None came because Bette’s attention was abruptly directed to the far entrance to the lunchroom.

Howdy, stranger. Good to see you back. I’m putting you on notice that you’ve used your ‘fried computer’ excuse and it will not be available to you again. Back it up, back it up, waaaaaay up. I too am a little uneasy with the school days setting (even being Olde, the skin kicks resonate), but I have faith in the skills of Spumoni.
Indulgence freely granted. Thanks for posting. :)
Yay, you’re back! Sooo happy to see you around again, Spumoni. And I’ll simply have to quote Linbook here (to whom the same dictum applies for me): You write, I read… Just sayin’… :-)))
Too freakin’ cute. :o)
Welcome back, it was a good start, I like it! PPS
this is so awesome!!! How totally adorable.
Cute, very cute. Welcome back!
Hey welcome back. Maybe you can trade Alice and Dana so that Bette and Tina don’t have to look around others to stare into each others’ eyes.
Spumoni’s back! If that were not worthy of a proper sumo stomp. I thought I would have to forever placate myself by scavenging in the archives. This is fun, tibette in diapers! And bette (and tina too) already showing some potential in bombastic bullying.
Hah-hah…waaaaaay cute! Yippee-Spumoni in the house. So glad you are back. Missed ya! Well a tale of mini-Tibette…hm, how about mini-Tibette being competetive at sports or dance class (where one is super klutzy) or one is teacher’s pet while the other tries to be super cool or one is a geek and the other is Ms. popular…you get the idea. I’ll take anything in Spumoni world!!! Welcome back!
Boy, am I glad to see you back! =) No need to apologize for your long absence though I really missed your quirky, hilarious stories. And now this, a fluffy TiBette beginning in grade school! Start ’em young, right? LOL. I’m getting a kick out of visualizing innocent-looking versions of Bette and Tina and their loyal sidekicks in third grade. Thanks a bunch for this new story, Spumoni, and for breaking your self-imposed silence! For your penance, please post as often as you can. Cheers! =)
That was good start and like it, they are so cute and sweet. Please post more, thanks!

Welcome back.This story just validates that Missess’ Destiny and Fate, long ago decreed that they were meant to be together throughout all eternity. Even in elementary school they had eyes for each other and hopefully it will continue to grow. Thanks for posting.

OK, just sayin’….I never read grammar school, high school, even college BT stories. Never. But…then there’s Spumoni and I have to eat my words. I will read when you write. So be it. But I will be happy if they grow up faster… Just sayin’. You write, I read.
Just began reading this story. I hope you age them pretty fast, because even though I believe that we know our sexuality at this young age, I could not possible read a lenghty story about the feelings between second and third graders.
